Commissioner Webb did not return from visit
ing the schools until late In the afternoon. To a
STAR reporter, who asked him II he wished to say
anything in reply to the statements made by Mr.
Wilson, he at first declined, but when the reporter
read few extracts from the reported statements
Mr.. Webb reused up and said:
II don't see why they always pitch on to me-
You KNOW said he, turning to Commissioner
Wheatley, who was seated near him, 'you know
that never do anything about the schools unless
1t is first considered by the board OF Commissioners
Every one knows that never before in the history
OF our schools was there more harmony existing
between the trustees and the Commissioners than
there is at present. There is nothing done by
either the Commissioners or the trustees without
both have knowledge Of It."

years ago an uncle Of his, John Minor,

Ohio, and settled there. Having made q
small payment on the land, he set to work
clearing and raising crops, but the land
was poor. Sickness and the death Of his
wife after a long illness left John in had
financial shape. The mortgage became
due, and the distressed old man, with his
home full of children, was about to be sold
out by the sheriff.
Phil was then a lieutenant, think,
stationed in Oregon. Hearing from his
brother at home how it was going with
his uncle, he sent his smsll earnings and
it took it alD to the rescue, bought the
land, telling his uncle TO remain there
as long as he lived, WIKI Il he did for seven

then, but since the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad has tapped it on the southeast
corner, making it one Of the most desirable
mining tracts in that township, worth not
less than $50 per acre, the sympathetic
dndhearted lieutenant of thirty years
ago has lost nothing by his investment,
besides the pleasant and gratifying
thought of saving home for his old
uncle during his lifetime.

The air is full Of soothing sounds The bee,
Within the waxen lily's honeyed cells,
In monotone of mellow measure tells
His yet unsated joyance; drowsily
The swallows spill their liquid melody .,s,s.- i
As down the sky they drop, and family swell
The tremulous twinkle Of the far sheep bells,
While wind harps sigh Ia every crowned tree.
Beneath the beachen shade the reapers lie,
Upon their lips merry harvest tune;
Knee deep within neighboring stream the
kline
Stand blinking idly in the clear sunshine:
And like dream Of olden Already
Seems the sweet languor of the summer noon
